Citizenship doesn't matter, what does matter is a work permit or some sort of visa that allows you to work.

Look for information on an investor visa, or something like that. I'm sorry, I really don't know much about it.

Why not just keep your money in Canada and open a store there?

You most likely want to look at the E visa (investor visa).

Here's a brief overview:

You'll want to speak to a lawyer - proper documentation, the investment requirement, etc. will be required when applying for this type of visa.

Get an E-2 visa. All E-2s are processed in Toronto. Good luck.
